Notes to editors:

Open House London is an annual celebration of the capital's architecture. It takes place during the weekend of 17-18 September 2011, when more than 700 buildings, many of which are normally closed, are opened to the public. It is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the richness of London's architectural heritage.
